Click on "Install Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@Claudiashow me tasks blocked by dependencies"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
Claudia
A task management system built for AI agents.
Official website: https://claudiacli.com/
Claudia provides structured task tracking with a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, enabling AI assistants like Claude to manage their own work through hierarchical tasks, dependencies, sprints, and acceptance criteria verification.

Why Claudia?
AI agents need a way to:
Track progress across complex, multi-step tasks
Coordinate when multiple agents work on the same project
Remember context between sessions (64KB JSON storage per task)
Verify work against acceptance criteria before completion
Organize work into sprints and project hierarchies
Claudia provides all of this through both a CLI and MCP server interface.

Quick Start
# Install Bun if you haven't already
curl -fsSL https://bun.sh/install | bash
# Clone and build
git clone https://github.com/yuvalsuede/claudia.git
cd claudia
bun install
bun run build
# Initialize and start using
./claudia db init
./claudia task create --title "My first task"
./claudia task listTry the Demo
See Claudia in action with sample data:
# Seed demo project with sample tasks and sprints
bun run seed:demo
# Open the web dashboard
./claudia @@ --port 3333Then open http://localhost:3333 in your browser to explore the kanban board and sprint views.

MCP Server Integration
Start the MCP server for use with Claude Code:
claudia mcpClaude Code Configuration
Add to .mcp.json in your project root:
{
"mcpServers": {
"claudia": {
"command": "/path/to/claudia",
"args": ["mcp"]
}
}
}Or for development (without building):
{
"mcpServers": {
"claudia": {
"command": "bun",
"args": ["run", "/path/to/claudia/src/mcp/server.ts"],
"cwd": "/path/to/claudia"
}
}
}After adding the config, restart Claude Code to connect.

Tasks can skip verification if no acceptance criteria are defined.
Multi-Agent Coordination
Claudia supports multiple AI agents working concurrently on the same project.
Task Claiming
// Claim before working
const result = await task_claim({ task_id: "uuid", agent_id: "agent-1" });
if (result.success) {
// Task is yours - proceed
} else {
// Already claimed by another agent
}
// Release when done or on failure
await task_release({ task_id: "uuid", agent_id: "agent-1" });Optimistic Locking
// Read task first
const task = await task_read({ id: "uuid" });
// Update with version check
await task_update({
id: task.id,
title: "Updated",
version: task.version // Fails if modified by another agent
});Recommended Pattern
